thank you for this i absolutely hate the nword because its a copout of how much nigger actually hurts people and it seems like people use it all the time just watch the news malcolm x said that he was called nigger so much as a child growing up in michigan where im from that he thought it was his name and that burns me even to this very moment because ive been on the receiving end of people hating me because of my skin color or even being from michigan and that we softshoe that black people are still the primary target for discrimination in america
